Thread: body experience opinions needed

You are talking about two different vehicles. This truck is much nicer than an ausie mining truck and the biggest difference is LHD. I can tell you from working on my LV, you would have to hit this thing pretty hard to do too much damage. All the lines look good to me and the doors open and close as they should. thanks for you .02 tho. Keep em coming.

Hi Merbesfield, I just responded to your PM. Give me a call if you are still up. By the way, do you speak Portugese?

I would ship it to someplace where you can oversee the work in person--sometimes the methods used to repair vehicles in South America can come back and haunt you. Although with the photos you have posted of your LV work looks like you are more than capable to fix the truck yourself.

Ship it to Paul!

also, look at the motor in the first picture. it looks like it broke motor mounts and tranny mounts and is resting at an angle from some kind of head on/driver front collision.... but these are really just my guesses get it, and let project "can-o-worms" begin

Except for the accident, I would not buy a car from south/middle America. The use of cars there is/was very extensive over the years. Cheers Peter

It's really hard to tell by looking at the pics. Have someone take "diagonol" measurements to make sure they are square. How well do the other doors open and are the gaps consistent?

Which city is it in?

Any idea if FJ40 stuff will bolt onto a bandi ? IF not then think twice about unavailable parts...

It needs to be cheap or pass. 2 cents MIke
